Ethel. What is her husbands name, and I told them.
Ihey asked if I had seen Julie in the period of

ridiculous to expect me to remember whom I had seen,
because I was busy working in the day and shopping

perhaps the biggest thing the F.B.I. has done in
this country, lhat it was as important to them as
it was to me to get the true facts that they were
not telling me anything hut the truth, that this
meant their reputations, their jobs. I said that
the h.F, were ma le up of people, that they were
not infallible, that they could make mistakes.
They said, not in a thing like this. I said that
I was sorry, I still maintained that my husband
could not have said such a thing. -/XPage three)

who owned the house at North High St. I told them
It was a Freeman family. Ihey asked me it Z could

It will be noted that the above statement
contains substantially the aa®e Information she
furrlshed orally to our agents during the interview
on June 16, 1950, which Is set forth in the report of
Special Agent John W, lewis, dated June 26, 195o, at
Kew York, captioned "David Creenglass, was,, Espionage -
R," which was disseminated to the Department on July 11,
1950, It will be recalled that Ruth Creenglass initially
refused to furnish any information pertinent to this
case, Hovrever, after consulting with her husband and
attorney she became cccferetive.

It was wgent to talk to her because of the iBiminence
of the sjupreme Court decision. She thereafter met-
him In th© ©vonlng snd h© told lior D©vld Ros6nb€rg
wanted to know where she end her husband obtained the
money to pay legal fees to Rcgge. Bernard stated he
advised David Rosenberg that Julius Rosenberg gave
fH.OOO to David and Ihith Greenglass. Bernard then
told Ruth that David Rosenberg wanted to know If
Ruth had received a letter from her husband In which
the latter said he wanted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
to admit their guilt and cooperate with the Government.
David Rosenberg wanted Ruth to turn over the letter
to hlra so that he could visit Julius and Ethel at
Sing Sing Prison and persuade them to confess. Ruth
has advised that she refused to turn over such a letter
or any other letter, telling Bernard that she did not
knov whet i3S0 Emar.xiel Ploch (the Kose^iber^ attorney)
would nake of such a letter. Later that evening,
Bernard arein visited hc-r and told her that he had
talked to David Rosenberg and told him of Ruth's refusal
to turn over any letter to him. Da^ld Rosenberg told
Bernard that he did not require an entire letter and
that a small portion of any letter Ruth had recently
received from her husband would be sufficient. Ruth
advised Bernard that under no circumstances would she
give any letter, but that any time David Rosenberg
wished to speak to her about the case she would be glad
to do so and even show him the letter from her husband,
but she would not permit the letter cut of her possessloi
Ruth Greenglass further advised that Bernard
also asked his rrother^ Krs# Tessie (ireenplass^ to turn
oyer to him any letters she had received from Davifi end
she refused to do so* , . \ .
From the foregoing, it appeays that David
Rosenberg is attempting to obtain known handwriting -

put pressure on Bernard Greenrlass to get him to submit
an affidavit that David Creeufrlass had stolen tools en d
uranium from both Fort Crd, California, and Los Alamos,
New Mexico* During s visit by one of the Bosenbergs*
relatives, Ethel Rosenberg made the statement that Dr.
uocrge E rnharlt, Government vltness^bad confided to
a frienl he had carjured himself during' the tr^al
because he v£s afraid cf whet the P.F.I, would do to
him. It will he recalled that Dr, Bernhardt testified
at the trial concerning a telephone conversation he
Julius Rosenberg when the latter asked him about
what Innoculations were necessary for a person to visit
Mexico, Dr, Saul Miller is reportedly working with Eloch
In an effort to secure from Dr, Bernhardt an affidavit

« May 3^ 1953* The article mentioned that a meaoranduia supposedly mritten
by Creen^ass was featured at the rally aa "new evidenee." It alao men-
tioned that Rogge had oonfinaed that there was a handwritten memorandum
by GreenglMs similar to the docuaant printed in the French newspapers,

to have been filched" from nis files and had been aissing when the rai
first inquired about it and then turned up in the files the next day,
Rogge also reportedly stated that Oreenglaas at first "told part of hie
stozy to the FBI," and then later gave the rest.
..u Blooh advised Rogge and Fabrlcant that he was trying to cheek
vrtiether ^e handwritten statement aj^arlng in the Rrench newspapers ^
was genuine. Fabrlcant told Bloch that as far as he knew the statement
S** If* filched from the files and later returned, «loch
state that his first knowledge of the statement came to him in a oable>>
gram from a French attorney, Paul Vlllard,
^^thsr advised that Bloch exhibited to him a Photostat

It is apparent that your request it dec sion^d by the cr.nferenea

fJro® our files. We therefore request that jou return
to us any such originals or copies promptly and that you
5f®fJ^oln from disclosing or using the contents thereof
in any manner or fashion,”
^y I state, first, that you oust reallre. of course, that these '
documents. Independently of myself, hare been published in ^e
public press, and that, in fact, as appears from the newspapers'
of May 4th, you yourself hare made public statements regarding
them, uresumably with your clients* con'^ent, Kor can I assume
that you mean in any manner to foreclose me from disclosing or

' ■•’*#*•** -O
I desire to avoid going Into a lengthy analysis as to whether I
hove the right or duty to reteln these documents on behalf of my
clients Julius Rosenberg and Rthel Rosenberg, However, as long as
one lota of doubt nay exist as to the propriety of my retelning ,
these photostatic documents, I am not disposed to retain them, \
Indeed, the fact that the originals of the photostats In my posses-*
slon may have been "stolen*' from your files (and I am relying upon ,
your representation to this effect) Is sufflelerit to move me' to
re««pond affirrcstlvely, and without hesitation to your request,' ? f.
T. therefore, enclose herewith a photostatic copy of the document,
which I have designated above as (1), Consisting of three pages,
and of the document which I have designated as (2), consisting
of three pages, T have neither made nor retained copies of these
documents, I have not now nor have I ever had In my possession
any other "originals or copies, photostat^c or otherwise of any
such iTia t'^rials which riay have come from ^[youjj/ files”,
T re-^uest that you forthwith acknowledge receipt of this letter
and the enclosed documents,
However, since I am deeply concerned as to the .propriety of trans*
mlttlng those documents to you, in terms of my duty to my clients
and, therefore, your concomitant right to demand and receive
them. In terras of the due administration of criminal Justice, I
propose to direct a reque-t to the Couualttee on Professional Sthlcs
of the Par Association, and to Chief Judge Knox, for a ruling as.
to the rights and duties of each of us, r-s officers of the court, .
with respect to the present and past use or suppression of the

Re/erenee fs made to our aenorandua of May 11, 19S3,
advising of the contents of a letter dated Ifay 6, 1953, froa
0, John Rogge, attorney for David and Ruth Greenglass, to Smxinuel
Bloch, attorney for the Bosenbergs* ,
Our Fev; Tori Office has received from Fr, Bloch a copy
of a letter dated May 7, 1953, irhich he haa forwarded to Mr, Rogge
This letter reads as follows:
Dear John:
This is in reference to your letter of May 6, 1953 in which
you request that I forward to you **any originals or copies,
photo static or otherv-ise" of: (l) a aemorandua which you
state to be in the handi riiing of your client, David
Greenglass, and (2) a typed memorandum dated June 19, 1950,
initialed ”RliG” , which you state to have been prepared by
Robert H, Goldman, formerly a member of your firm.
It is apparent that your request is occasioned by the can-
ference between us and Herbert Fabricant of your firm, held
at your office on May 4, 1953, which I requested as a result
of a statement by you, reported in the M,T, Times of that day
to the effect that photostatic copies of the above documents ,
theretofore published in the French press, were authentic.

NOTE: Greenglaaa aduiaed that at tine Rosenberg was tnstrudting htu
to leave U939j Rosenberg told hin Dr, Bernhardt would give a Fal se
certificate of vaccination for the Greenglasses for their proposed
trip to Mexico, On 6-7»S0 Agents contacted Bernhardt who adm^ted
being Rosenberg fanily physician^ but denied being approached -for
certificate. Three days later Bernhardt contacted BIO and changed
his story f stating he recalled receiving telephone call, f rot <-h
Rosenberg two or three months before inquiring about type oJF
injections needed by a friend who was going to Mexico, However^
Rosenberg never asked for certificate, Bernhardt testified to the
above as Government witness at trial. Information has been received
recently that defense is attempting to secure affidavit from Bernharx
admitting that he perjured himself at the trial with the view of
using affidavit in effort to secure new trial. It is believed
desirable that interview of Bernhardt at this time to determine if
^ has been approached by the defense be cleared with USA, SDNT, in
of its possible bearing on future legal proceedings in this

Tfc# Special Agent In Charge af ay Mem lark Office thie
afternoon conferred loith Federal Judge Irving Kaufman with ‘ '
reference to developnente, in view of the deciaton handed dovn
by the Supreme Court today in thie caeom Judge Kaufman etated
that no date or plan hae been formulated ae yet; that the normal
procedure would be that the Supreme Court would return I to ^dgment
to the Circuit Court of Appeale and, in the abeenee of a etay, thie
would be referred by the Circuit Court, direct to Judge Kaufman and
could reach him. by the end of thie week; that, however, the
Soaenberge* attorney, Emanuel Block, can make a motion for a stay,
and if each a etay ie granted the verdict of the Supreme Court
will remain in the Supreme Court for that flfteen^day period;
further, that ehould the Supreme Court have receaaed for the
summer by that time no action would be taken until next October,
Kith regard to the poaaibility of Attorney Bloek*e requesting
a stay in the Supreme Court, you may desire to make some arrancement
in order that the Department will be immediately advised of the
filing of any such papers, so that the Department may tmmediatelu
file any answer necessary.
Federal Judge Kauf^n advised on December 23, 1952,
when the Rosenberga* family called on him in hie chambers, the
family made a very hysterical plea for tfcW Rosenberga, On this
occasion Judge Kaufman advises that he as^ed the family if they
had suggested to the Rosenborgs that theyl help themselves. He
stated the family’s reaction to this eommient was one of indignation.

out that they had taken no steps to do so, ^
Judge Kaufman furt^r,,a^H e<!tlt3li^ t on January 2, 1953,
in his opinion he diacuaa^^f cortii<Ferable length the fact that
the Rosenborgs had shown no fo^orpe u^tspsver. The Judge stated

In accordance with the Director 's instructions, I telephonically
contacted SAC Boardman on the afternoon of 5/25 and instructed him to
contact Judge Kaufman, find. out. what is the approximate date which he
might set for the execution, and point out that the sooner action .
was taken the better; also to determine under, what circumstanjces
and how many times the Judge had indicated to the Bosehbergs that
if they talked they might receive some consideration 0
The information in this memorandum to the Attorney General
is based on a return call from Jifr. Boardman reflecting the results
of his interview with Judge Irving Kaufrnanm

aubnitted to him by prison guarda who have monitored the
converaatione of the Rosenberga and their viaitoro* Theae
reporta reflect the following informationt
. • • . . ,* ■
On January 31, 1953, Ethel Goldberg (aiater of
Juliua Rosenberg) viaited Ethel Rosenberg and asked her
about the table that waa mentioned during the trial, Ethel
Rosenberg became excited and told her aiater^in^law not to
ask queationa that did not concern her and that she ahou2dn*t
discuaa this matter with anyone. The report stated "It
aeema that the table in question had o hollow base and the
FBI waa interested in the table at one time,"
On February 3, 1953, Ethel Rosenberg asked Julius
Rosenberg if Ethel Goldberg had asked him about the table
and the high chair and he answered that she had, Julius told
hia wife that he had cautioned Ethel Goldberg about talking
and asking queationa concerning this matter.
On February 4, 1953, the Roaenberga were viaited
by their attorney Emanuel Bloch and they talked about the
console table. It appeared that Julius had bought it in
1947 or 1948, Julius requested his attorney to locate aome
record and Bloch advised him that the records were temporary
and a search loas fruitless. There waa aome talk concerning
the whereabouts of the table and it waa indicated that
was difficult to say, Julius talked about the FBI taking
baskets and barrels of stuff from hia house. It was also
mentioned that the table could be at Ethel Goldberg *a place.
During this visit it waa mentioned that a Dr, Sillier was
trying to contact a witneaa whose name sounded like Sniderman
\g^^-'\'^hs\-^witneaa to admit that hia testimony waa perjured
due to the threats of the FBI and subtle coaching by the FBI,

On Fthruary 14, 1963, th0 Ito6enb0rg9 hai a visit
from thsir childrsn and Bloch* According to Bloch the table
joas traced to liacy^s Bepartsient Store, by a distant relative
9/ Blooh*9 Ki/e* The relative w described as a man in
charge of the Furniture Department of Macy^s* Bloch stated
that the table was made by Brandt or Brand Manufacturing
Company and "ihe tables are identified by code nuMbere
indicating the companies to whom soldm There wae also eos^
mention wade of "nineteen dollars, ninety five cents and Bax*
The report also states that Blsoh asked JUlius. if he had
ever altered the table and fhJtue answered "Tee I get a metal
drill from the shop and some metal screws and fixed If so that
It would be serviceable*" Bloch also asked if there were
grooves or anything like that on the table and Julius answered
In the affirmative*
Zt is believed that the Dr* Miller mentioned above,
refers te a Dr* 3aul Miller, a psychiatrist who regularly
visito Mthel Rosenberg at Sing Sing prison* It is alee
believed that the individual Sniderman, mentioned above,
refers to Ben Schneider, the lUosport Jhotegra^er who was
a Government witness at the trial*
On May 8, 1963, Ben Schneider was interviewed and
contacted and he advised that two people had come to his
store since his last visit from Bureau agents in the latter
part of February, 1963* Be stated that one wan cane in
and asked him if he was Schneider* Shis man wanted to
talk about the case* Schneider refused to talk with hint*
Me also advised that on May 6, 1953, a man came to hie ^
shop and asked to have passport pictures taken* Schneider
took three picturee for the sum ef $1* Then the man was
leaving the store he asked Schneider if he was the man
who had taken the passport pictures in the Rosenberg bass*
When Schneider answered that he was, ^e man asked Schneider
if he had the negatives* Schneider answered that he did
not* The man then left after explaining to Schneider that
he mas a student in lam school and had been following the
case*
Efforts are being wads to dstsmino if the
second individual who contacted Sohnsider is Dr* Saul Miller*
The United States Attorney, Southern District of Sow fork
is being advised of tho above information concorning Schneider
Tou will be kept advised ef additional developments
in this stutter*

SHE HAD BEEN INTERVIEWED BY MRM GOLDMAN OF ROGGE-S OFFICE IN-:iUNE FIFTY.
GOLDMAN WANTED TO KNOW SOME OF HER HUSBAND, DAVID-S, BACKGROUND. (VT
SHE TOLD HIM OF HER COURTSHIP BY DAVID AND LATER MARRIAGE AND OTHER ^
MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY TOLD GOLDMAN VARIOUS ITEMS* ABOUT DAVID. SHE-
h/J ^ '
RECALLED THAT DAVID HAD EITHER PNEUMONIA OR THE FLU WHEN HE WAS
V- :
FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND THAT HE WAS ALONE IN THE UPStAIRS
APARTMENT. HE HAD A VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE AND IN HIS ^IJfcLIRIOUS STATE
HE RAN OUT OF THE APARTMENT TRYING TO GET HIS PAJAMAS^F. SHE TOLD
GOLDMAN THAT DAVID REFERRED TO HIS PAJAMAS AS LEAD Pi^J^S AND THAT
THERE WERE ELEPHANTS AROUND. THIS IS THE STATEMENT THAT WAS TAKEN
FROM ROGGE-S OFFICE, PHOTOGRAPHED AND WHICH WAS READ AT THE RALLY
AT RANDALLS ISLAND ON THE THIRD LAST. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS
J,
STATEMENT WILL BE USED TO DISCREDIT DAVID AS A WITNESS. RUTH STATED
THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS A FAMILY JOKE AND WAS WELL KNOWN TO JULIUS AND
ETHEL ROSENBERG AND HAD BEEN RELATED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHEN
MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WERE TALKING OF TH|^-^CTIONS ^MBERS,
PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY WERE SICK. SHE AGAIN ADV^D THAT SHE TOL ^

the David Greenglass ease reflecting results of various
interviews with Greenglass on July 14, 16, 18, and 20,

Greenglass advised Rosenberg bought a Leica camera
from Willoughby *s, and he sometimes fastened the camera
to a drop-leaf table in his hone. Tour attention is
also directed to New Tork teletype dated July 15, 1950,
in the above»captioned case, reporting interview with
Ruth Greenglass^ The latter also advised of the purchase
of the camera by Rosenberg for use in his photocopy work
and stated that Rosenberg had rigged up an attachment

NOTE: Greenglass testified that Rosenberg told him the
Russians gave the R osenbergs as a gift a console
table which was adapted by Rosenberg for photographing
espionage material, Rosenberg denied this on the stand,
stating he bought the console table at Maoey *s. Table was
not produced at the trial, Rosenberg attorney now claims
to have found table and states it was in Rosenberg apartment
at time of arrest, indicating Greenglass withheld this
information from the FBI, otherwise FBI would have seised it
at time of arrest. It appears, in event Supreme Court denies
certiorari, defense will move for a new trial on newly
discovered evidence, using console table story for one of
these points, /

Reference is ncde to our_ meiaorandun of May -7^
1953, reporting information fron a Confidential source
concerning one Fyte farmer, Nashville, Tennessee, attorney,
tcho has advanced the theory that the Rosenberg Case can be
thrown out of court on a habeas corpus because it was tried
under the old espionage law instead of the Atomic Energy ^
Control Act* - , ,
V. - r -
Our files reflect that a fyke farmer, undoubtedly
identical with the above'-mentioned individual, was a proc*
ticing attorney at Nashville, Tennessee, for many years%
About 1945 or 294C he reportedly became intensely interested
in world government to the extent that he gave up hie law
practice and has since devoted full time to urging estab^ ,
lishmsr.t of a world government* Ac^uaintancee at Nashville,
Tenuee&ec regcrd ’^^r'r.er os on imoractical idealist. They
state that whirl e they do not believe ^ar er would ever 6ub^
scribe to a Communist eysierr. o-' jo verrirncnt, he could be led
by Co:r.nuni:-it^» Fcr\er was a signer o'" the Amici Curiae
brieC “ilsd with the United States Court of Apieala, Second
Circuit, urging reversal of the contempt or court conviction
of several attorneys in the conspiracy trial of the eleven
Communist leaders*
ir* ’dwerd Ransall, o reporter of the "New fork
Times," has advised our New York Office that Former visited \
him on May 15, 1963* farmer told Ransall that a ''ter atudying\
the Rosenberg Case record, he did not believe the court had
the power to invoke the death penalty because of a techni-
cality in the indictment* farmer stated he had submitted
a writ of habeas corpus to the United States Supreme Court J
but did not pay the filing fee of $100 and, therefore, a
writ has not been issued* \jaraer cdoised Ransall thet he i
had been invited by Joseph^^ainin, Chairman of the National I
Cemnittee to ,^ea’-re Justice %n the Roaenbergs Case, to
New York City, where he attended a conference, at whif^h
manucl Bloch, attorney for the Rosenbergs, was present*
Bloch told Brainin and Termer that he was oppo6<M to the

known in the United Statea, aa the Roaenberga were afforded
a trial by Jury in federal Court loitft the full protection of
the demooratio prooeaaea of law in thia country* The

and Klaus Tucha* I would like to point out that any
weakneaaea in the British security ay stem ahould not be
utilised by thia country aa a basis for meting out Justice*

at the trial oonatituted, af course, hie full reooXXeotian
of his aotiuities and those af the defendants.
Ambassador PiXXan stated that a •tt5«tanifa2 aagnent
af Freneh apinion also nahes a distinetion between the degree
of guilt of Bosenberg at the principal and that af his eife
as on aocessory. At the record af the trial mil reflect,
Ethel Bosenberg actively assisted Julius Saaenberg in hio
espionage aotfvfiftt*
With reference to the apinion af the Ambassador
that the great majority of French people feel the
death sentence is unjustified from a moral standpoint and
is due only to the political climate peculiar ta the United
States, now and at the time of the trial, as pointed out
above, I feel that we should take cognisance of the fact that
the defendants have had every opportunity of appeal and that
the Supreme Court has twice considered their ease. In
addition, public opinion in this country, as expressed by
editorial oomnon’l in our newspapers, I tninh it can be fairly
said, has been overwhelmingly in favor of the sentence metad
out to the defendants*
Relative to Ambassador Dillan*s comments regarding
Ur* Cohn, it should be considered that former United States
Attorney Irving Saypol, not Ur, Cohn, was fn direct charge
of the prosecution of this case* Ur, Saypol is now a Hew
York State Supreme Court Justice, Ur* Cohn did assist
materially in the prosecution, but the responsibility for the
handling of the case and the majority of the prosecution
itself were charged to Ur* Saypol*
In weighing the reaction to this matter, the
current attitude of the Communist Party, both here and abroad,
should be taken into consideration* Communist Parties, both
in the United States and abroad, have been conducting a prolific
Sonorabl0 JGRrrdtfri Broanell.^V^

campaign through the Comnuntet prc$$ and /rent crganiMattcnd
demanding the amelioration e/ the Moeenberge* eentenee» ^
Indeed, among many of the argunente advanced have been \ -
come of theae act forth in Jnbaaaador JHllon'a telegram^
A reduction in aontenoe mould, of courec, be
interpreted by the Communiata aa a deoiaioe victory reaulting
from the very vigoroua campaign which they are waging toward
thte end. Commutation Itkewtae could be conatrued ae a aign
of weakneaa and indeeiaion on the part of thie Covernnent
in protecting the aecurity of the Cnited Statee* The effeat
of thia aentence ae on object leeaon to other enemie a cr
potential enemiea threatening our aecurity, of courae, would
be loat in the event the aentence of the Boaenberga were
reduced*
While the Ambaaoador ia undoubtedly aineere in
hi a eepreaaion of opinion aa to the grave conaequencea t^ich
may enaue if thia aentence ia carried out, it i a my opinion
that the contrary may well be true. If the aentence ia
reduced, we may well be charged, not only abroad but ia thia
country, with knuckling under to Conmuniat preaaure and thia
could not help but be extremely harmful to pur national
aecurity*

Stipe rvisor Scoi't Miller called from New York
at 3:45 today, June J. He stated that Judge Kaufman
had Just denied a motion for reduction of sentence and
a motion for stay of execution. In connection with the
denial of these motions, Emanual Bloch, the attorney for
the Rosenbergs, indicated he would appeal within 24
hours to the Circuit Court of Appeals,
Bloch was asked by the U, S, Attorney whether
he planned filing additional motions, and Bloch said
he planned to file a motion under Rule 2265, on the basis
of newly-^discovered evidence, some of which was Just
learned yesterday. May 31, (This apparently pertains

Mr. Metzner in the Department brought to my office this
aiternoon a cover note from Mr. Bernard M. Shanley of the White House, with
which Mr. Shanley submitted to the Attorney General two handwritten letters
purportedly written by the Rosenberg children. One of the letters is signed
^'Michael Rosenberg" and petitions the release of his mother and father, using
as a basis for his request the release of William Oatis. The other letter is
signed "Michael and Robert Rosenberg" and also petitions the release of the
Rosenbergs. In the first letter Michael Rosenberg refers to his brother Robert
as being six years old; therefore, it would appear that, if they are authentic,
both letters were written by Michael. Mr. Metzner stated that the Attorney
General desired a handwriting comparison made to determine if both letters
were written by the same person.
I delivered the notes immediately to Mr. Parsons in the Labora-
tory, with the request that a handwriting examination be made on a most expedite
basis and a report be prepared for Mr. Metzner.
Mr. Metzner advised that it was the Attorney General's view that
nothing further be done on these letters, especially if it was determined both
were written by the same person. He would appreciate your views, however,
as to whether or not you feel any further steps should be taken with reference to
these letters. The thought occurs that in the event the letters are found to be
written by different persons, some consideration might be given to obtaining
known handwriting specimens on a discreet basis from the records of the school
attended by Michael Rosenberg in order to determine whether or not he wrote
either of the letters. Michael Allen was born 3-10-43; Robert Harry born l0-14-!»47-.
Mr. Metzner asked that the letters be returned to him tomorrow /
in order that he can return them to the White House.

Dear President Eisenhower,
I saw on telivision on monday, Mr. Oatis is not in jail
in Europe any more because the President of the country let him go.
It said his wife wrote a letter to the President over there and she told
why Mr. Oatis should be let go. I think it is a good thing to let him
go home because I know prison is a very bad place for anybody to be
My momy and dady are in prison in New York My brother
is six years old His name is Robby. He misses them very much. I
miss them too. I got the idea to write to you from Mr. Oatis on telivision.
Please let my mommy and daddy go, and not let anything happen to them.
If they come home Robby and I will be very happy. We will thank you
very much.
Very truly yours,

mony. 1 his sensational development in the worl
fajnous case took place yesterday afternoon at th
cL:mency-for-Rosenbergs rally held at Randalls Is,
land, New York City. The U.S. Supreme Court
may hand down its decision today on the Rosen-
berg appeal for a new trial.
The damning Greenglass document, wr-tose au-
thenticity has been established by Elizabeth Mc-
Carthy, a nationally kno\yn handwriting expert,
6rst appeared in the anti-Communist French paper.
Combat, in Paris. It was made available to the American
public yesterday after having created a sensation in France
tliroiigh its pubhcation also in die leading French consen^a-
tive paper, Le Monde.
MAJOR POINTS
The Greenglass document confirms these major points in
the charge that Greenglass lied on the witness stand with
the connivance and knowledge of the FBI: p
1— He told the court and the jury that he told Ha iry
Cold, another witness, to c-ome back to see liim alxiut alleged
a^om information. Actually, it was the FBI that told liim
to say that. . " Lj ^

AFTER CITING a document in which Greenglass' wife>
Rudi, shows that her husband was hysterical, unbalancedg
given to fanasties and lies, chairman of the Rosenberg com*
mittee, Joseph Brainin told the rally audience: ^
"Tn the light of this description, w'hat shall we ^ake
of a second document published on April 18 by Le Coipibat,
a French newspaper, and reprinted in Le Monde, thenvell*
known newspaper, a document which purports to be written
in Greenglass^ own handwriting, , I repeat. Le Combat,
a Parisian anti-Communist daily, published a statement by
David Greenglass in his own handwriting. I wish you could
see this man s handwriting. It is that on ^an immature cl^ild.
The document starts out by saying:
*^Tliese are my approximate statements to the FBI.**
*'And what are these statements?
^Greenglass says that he told the FBI that he met
Harry Cold in New Mexico, smd now listen carefully to this:
"They (FBI) told me that I had told him to come back later,
I didn^t rememb«r this but I allowed it in the statement.*^
"Let us pause for a moment, for this statement by
David Greenglass gives us they key to his subsequent tes-
timony at the trial.''

On Sunil^, May A, the eeunlry tva$ given gemaiional
new evidence mlding new weight to the charge that iho
entire government cate vigainMt the Rotenbergt it a frhnuh
up. This new evideiice, written JunOy 19S0y is now in tha
hands of President Eisenhowery sent to him hj the Com-
miitee for Justice in the Rosenberg Case in its appeal for ^
clefnehcy and a new trial.
The new evidence consists of two documents whose
authenticity is unquestionedy one in the handwriting of
David Creenglassy key witness against the RosenbergSy
and the other a ty peter itten statement Aum marking the
pre-trial Itatements of his wifcy Ruth. There are sensa*
tional contradictions between these early statements by
the key witnesses and their Utter testimony in the courts
room. ^ .
Another amasmg fact is that neither of the key wit-
nesses mentioned Ethel Rosenberg until they got to the
courtroom in Marchy 1951.
The Rosenberg committee has sent the analysis given -
bdow to President Eisenhower.
Following is the concluding section of this new evU
dencey of which the first part was publish^ yesterdays
ETHEL ROSENBERG JUUUS ROSENBERG
4. In his handwritten docu-
jment Grecnglass states, then
mentioned a meeting with a man
|who I didn’t know arranged by
Julius, I established the approx-
.imate vneeting place but no
exact date. The place was a
car, an Olds owned by nay
father-in-law, somewhere above
42nd Street on 1st Avenue in
Manhattan. I talked to the man
but 1 recall very little about
which we spoke, I thought it
might be that he wanted me to
think about finding out about
H, £, lenses used in exp^ri*
mental tests to determine data
on the a-bomb,**
8y the time the trial took
place, ^ the stranger -the *'raan
.1 didn’t know” had acquired a
, I^vLSsian nationality, p. 451.
Q. Did he (Julius Rosenberg)
tell you who this person he
wanted >'ou to meet was?
A. He said it was a Russian
he wanted me to meet.
• • •
Did People -
Visit Her?
IN MRS. CREENGLASS’
summarized statement, the fob
lowirig appears: ^’People keep
flocking in the house to offer
I support arid advice including
dthat perhaps a right-wing law-
nyer should be selected.”
D At this time, according to the
first paragraph of this statement,
'^She was in bed as she had just
returned from the hospitaL”
But at the trial she testifies
as follows, p. 733.
Q. Were you interviewed By
newspaper men at any time be-
tween the 15th of June, an(*
three, foiu* or five days then
after?
A, No.
Q. You are quite sure of that?
A. 1 was in bed. Nobody
came into the house.
And yet on June 19th, *peo-
pie keep flocking in die house."
The discrepancy would not
be important were it not for the
fact that she is attempting to
d^y that she ever ^ maintained
that she and her husband were
innocent, thus, eliciting neigh-
bc^hood sympathy.
This is proven in the follow-
ing lines, p. 733.
Q. When did you go to see ,
Mr. Rogge?
A. He came to see me. '
Q. At your home?
A. That’s right
(X Do you remember the
dayr
A. Yes.
Q. Did you tell Mr. Rogge
that you were innocent?
A. No, 1 told him the whole
truth. . _ UL

would be advisable not to talk
but to let the Govemment ptove
its case, 'fhe third course was
that of cooperation. That wm
yign discuss^ Bt lengA.
If the third course, “coopery
tion ” was discussed at
in the absence of any definito
statement of innocence or {put,
it could only lead to Ac situa-
tion which Acse documents re-
veal; namely that -Grc^glass
and his wife were both prepai^
to help "make" a case in order
to save Aeir own skins.
It is significant that Ac state-
ment on discussing coopei atkm
is Ae neat to the last sentence
in Ac document. The last one
“Xhcrc was a long discusskm
about-JR."
There Ae document ends,
wiA JR (Julius Rosenberg?)
mentioned for the first AncI
the summary docu-
ment, far from giving a hint
lof guilt, actually ^ves one Ae
impression Aat Mrs. Greenglass
feels herself an object of per-
secution. There is a that
Green glass had hrou^t home
some uranium, and had been
questioned about it by the I* Rl»
Mrs. Greenglass complains that
she and her husband were fol-
lowed about and bo Acred by
the FBI.
7-Doubt is even cast on Ae
testimony Aat the Greengl^s
family, brought g4,{)00-David s
espionage wages— to Rogge al-
most immediately upon Davids
arrest. “Mrs. Greenglass urged
OJR to try to get a court
pointment for himself and he
agreed to try.
It is very unlikely, unless the
Greenglasses were prepared at
Aat time to plead innocent, Aat
Aey w'ould consider $4,000 too
small a sum to pay for an^ at-
torney. Had they, as Aey claim
in their court testimony, at once
confessed their guilt, they would
undoubtedly have considered
$4,000 a very adequate sum |
of money to j^y wwyei to
plead Aem guuty. , —

. finally, we COhffi to

• ^at the dihigi they added!
to thetr jtories at the trial were
precisely those things needed 1^
the prosecution to plug up the.
holes in the prosecu*
don's effort to implicate Green-
glass* sister, Ethel, and her hus*

THE WORLD NOW knovrt

Anny sergeant, Creenglass who
claim^ he overheard scraps of
scientists* conversations at ^Loi
Alamos befom the Hiroshima
atom-bombing and on Ae basis
of these conventions, drew
froxx^ memory a 12-Mge plan
of ^ thS atom homo secret**
which was then “given to the
Russians.**
The two new dociunentsi
made public at first in FrancJ
by die antx-Communist papers
.Combat and Le Monde,
destroy coinoletely what was*^^
always an innerently unbeliev*
able tale, branded as such by
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Harold
C. Urey, Prof. Albert Einsfein,
and the Manhattan Project
atomic expert. Dr. Ralph Lapp.
The documents* autfaenHcity
was confirroed this week in a
remarkable statement by O.
'John Rogge who tried to ex-
plain away dieir damaging ef-
fect on die Creenglass testi-
mony by saying: fold
part of his story to the FBT
and later gave die rest** (N.Y.

But it was precisely the way
Creenglass* original “Mrt of the

fit the prosecution's needs w*hich
constitutes the amazhig lifting
of the lid on this incr^lble po-
litical frame-up.

HERE ARE the main points
which a contrast of the two new

• Creendass did not know
Harry Cold, alleged contact be-
tW6CTi h i in sod di0 Rosen^> gr g!e
Juno 1950, nor did he Invite Gold
to come back later" in his orig-
mal statemcnf; nor did he say that
sent
roe. But in tfie ti^J testimony
he changed aH this. He reveals’
that ^ FBI **toId me that I had
told him (Hany Gold) to come
back later because I didn't have
it ready.** The he adds this dam-
aging revelation:
“I didn’t remember rtii« but I
I allowed it in the statement.”
Thus, the FBI was coaching him
to say what was needed for the
trial and the prosecution.
• Greenglass claimed that his
^vife talked over with him the
©ving of "information” to Julius
Rosenberg when she met him in
New Mexico in November, 1944.
jBut, Mrs. Greenglass* typewritten
‘Statement now reveals that ^e
I could not have been In New Mex-
ico when this alleged conversation
j Ujas supposed to have taken place.
I She stated at first that she did not
jget to New Mexico imtil four
! months later, March 1945! She
c^nged this in the trial however
nine months laterl '
• She claims that Julius Rosen-
the atom bomb
With her before she went to New
Mexico, March. 1945; but in her
statement it comes out that it was
only after Hiroshima, July, 1945,
tnat she became aware of the
atom bomb! Thus, she either never
wth Julius Rosenberg, or
; it she aid, it could not have been
I about the atom bomb as she
claimed at the triall
! • In his handwritten statement.
jOr^nglass said about the alleged
am^l of Ifarry CJold, (this is the
highly dubious character sent to
jail after his "confession” to Judee
McGrane^, the same man who
later as U. S. Attorney General,
suppressed the Popc*s plea for
clemCTcv) that "I didn't know who
sent Gold to me.”
at ^he trla^ he daoges this
basica^ to mvt^ve the Rosen*

(P. 457, trial record).

niai, Mrs. Greenglass savs "Sho

w. But at the trial, she conveni-
ently recalls the visit of the gov-
ernment witn^s. Gold, even though
Greendass statement de^tdy
places her outside the room during
this alleged vait! *
^ • Nowhere in the original state-
ments wm Ethel Rosenberg ever
mentioned by either of her accus-
ml Only at the trial did they bring
her m; but even then not as having
en^ged in any espionage, but only
as JcDowmg about it
• In his original statement.
Greengl^ says he did not ^ow
wh^ he aUegedly met in New
York as a contacC nor did he re-
^11 what was said. Bvt at the trial
ros memory amazin^y revived
enough to say that the "contact”
(p. 45T. Trial
Record). This is just what the pros-
ecution needed for its case!
★
are further staggering
contradictions, all fitting the gov-
Clients needs later on. On page
t>78 of the record, Greenglass
swears on the stand that he "did
not witlA(^ conscientiously any
formation” concerning his activ-
it®® r Alamos. He had told
the full story, according to his
own wor^ a year before the triall
At the trial, he added heavily, in
new details, what tlie prosecution
needed.
With such facts before them,
how can the American people,
how can the labor movement sit
by and watch this planned execu-
tion take place to "prove” the gov-
ernment s fantasy that the Korean
war was earned by “Russians” get-
ting non-existent "secret” given to
diem by non-existent "Communist
atom spies,” the Rosenbergs?
If ever President £«enhow)er
should hear pleas from the people
for clemency so that justice can
look into this amazing case, that
time is now. The Supreme Court
may hand down its finalvej^Jjgj ni
two weeks.

Introduction
Since the Spring oiT 1951, when Ethel
Julius Rosenbeig were sentenced to death
Morton Sobell to SO years at Alcatraz at
conclusion of a hurried ten-day trial, an
growing debate has developed throughout the
country ns to the fiacts in the cstse.
. • . ' - •
Jn March, 1952, the National Onnmittee to
Secure Justice in the Rosenberg Case published
the Entire trial transcript. On the basis of
these transcripu. thousands of which were sold
throughout the country, the national debate on
the facts in the Rosenbeig case assumed tre-
mendous proportions. ?
Dr. Harold Ur^, Prof. Albert Einstein, Prof.
many attorneys, educators
and religious leaders called for clemency. More
and more people became convinced that grave
doubt exists as to the guilt of the Rosenbergs
and Morton Sobell and that the short ten-day
trial did not contain the necessaiy guarantees of
.^a fair trial imder the American Constitution.
Eighty thousand Americans signed an amicus
brief, requesting a netv trial for the Rosenbergs
and Morton Sobell. Many more thousands ap-
pealed to the President of the United Sutes to
grant clemency to the Rosenbeigs.
Now, in the Spring of 1955, new documents
have come to light, throwing serious doubt on
the testimony of David and Ruth Greenglass,
chief witnesses against the Rosenbeigs. These
documents, first published in France, were pre-
sented to the American people at a public rally
of 10,000 people at Randall’s Island Stadium in
New York on May 3, 1953.
1
In the interest of seeking the truth in the
Rosenberg Case, guaranteeing American Justice,
and preventing the tragic execution of two
people who to this day maintain their complete
innocence, we present these documents to the
American people.
liii
The Documents
1 'yi\
r •r- • .
r — ' ^ -
The documeiits received by the National Committee to Secure
Justice in the Rosenberg Case arrived fom the French Rosenberg
Committee in the form of photostatsl
The first document consists of three pages written in David
Creenglass* own handwriting. These three pages were later authen*
ticated by a foremost handwriting expert, Mrs. Elizabeth McCarthy,
ol Boston, Mass. The document is dated “Saturday, June 1950”
It purports to be a statement or recapitulation of what David
Creenglass told the F.B.I.
The importance of this document lies in the contradiction
it gives to Creenglass’ courtroom testimony; it is written in the
I ‘ - *
language of a man inventing a story rather than telling a truthful
narrative; it contains serious and inexplicable omissions, and
• * ^
finally, confesses that he permitted the F.B.L to “remember” for
him events he could not himself recall.
The second document, dated June. 18, 1950, is a typewritten
one, also of three pages, which ap|>ears to a memorandum from
an attorney for his files. It concerns a discussion between members
of the law firm and relatives of David Creenglass. This second
document is likewise of extreme importance because in it Mrs.
Ruth Creenglass, David’s wife, contradicts vital aspects of her
husband’s written statement and courtroom testimony and por-
trays her husband as an hysteric and liar. This dc^ment provides
evidence that Creenglass committed perjury.
These two documents do not deal with peripheral or secondary
matters in the case. They go to the heart of the case, and therefore
raise fundamental doubts, which, when taken in the context of
other doubts — particularly the absence of a single document link-
ing the Rosenbergs to a “conspiracy to commit espionage” — cause
the trial to be viewed in an altogether new light.^
The following pages present a comparison of the newly dis-
covered documents with the Creenglass testimony.
“TENDENCY TO HYSTERIA^'
;>
In a decision of the U^; Court of Appeak, Judge Jerome. N. Frank said:
**Poubtl^ if that (Greenglass) . testimony were disregarded the conviction
(against the Rosenbergs) could not.stand/^
In effect Judge Frank pc^ed the questipn — which man will you believe,
David Greenglass or Julius Rosenbeig? If Greenglass lied there is no case against
the Rosenberes. , .
‘ -i ■ • • ■■ ■ ■ '* •
■ I .
One of the new documents, the typewritten lawyer's memorandum describ-
ing an interview with Ruth Greenglass, David's wife, gives an intimate account
• . I*.
of what kind of a person Greenglass is. .Here, is a report of what Greenglass*
wife has to say about him:
^Aa to her husband^ she stated that he had a Hendencj to
hysteria/ At other times he would become delirious and once whoi
he had the grippe he ran nude through the hallway, shrieking of
^elephants*, and ^lead pants/ ’
^She had known him since he was ten years old. She said that
he would say things w^ere so even if they were not. He talked of suicide
as if he were a character in the movies but she didnU think he would
do it.’’
GREENGLASS ADMITS LIE
In the document in Greenglass* handwriting, he frankly admits making
statements he did not remember to be trile, and directly lying to the F.B.I. He
writes, describing a statement to the F.B.I.:
stated that I met Gold in N. M. at 209 Hick St., my place.
They told me that I had told him to eome back later because I didn’t
have it ready. I didn’t remember this but I allowed it in the statement.”
' .. : <' • ' ^
... ‘ ^ '• V . 3 t\ -i i'r
* /
Thus he admits letting the F.B.I. put words into^is mouth. Then he adds:
^But this m tell you, I can honestly say the information I gave
. Gold may be not at all what I said in the statement.”
- 4 ^
The language Greenglass uses throughout his written document is that of
a man fabricating a story. **1 made sure to tell the F.B.L**, '*1 established the
approximate meeting place**, “I definitely placed** — these arc the kind erf.
phrases he uses.
SUMMARY — Dr« Harold C* Urej, nudear acientiat, said after reading
the transcript of the trial: found the Rosenberg testimony more believ-
able than the Creenglaas.*’
David Greenglass, a hysteric and a self-confessed liar, la the man on
whose word two persona have been sentenced to die.
HISTORY REFUTES TESTIMONY
The most damaging testimony against Ethel and Julius Rosenberg was the
sworn testimony of Ruth and David Greenglass, who claimed that the Rosen-
bergs recruited them as spies. On the basis of this testimony, above all else, the
Rosen bergs were condemned to death.
In his handwritten statement, Greenglass relates how he told the F.B.I.
that his wife had been sent to recruit him for espionage by Julius Rosenberg.
He says:
told them that on a visit to me in November, 1944, my wife
asked me if I would give information. I made sure to tell the F.B.I.
that she was transmitting this info from my brother-in-law Julius and
was not her own idea.^
In court Ruth Greenglass went into great detail about the description of
the A-bomb she purports to have received from Julius Rosenberg in November,
1944.
A. (Co&tiDsed) And he said — I wanted to know bow he
knew whai Da^id was doing. He said that hia f rienda bad
told him that David was working on the atomie bomhi and
he went on to tell me that the atomie bomb waa the moat
deatnietive weapon used so far, that it had dai^roua radia-
tion effeeta, that the United Statea and Britain were work-
^ . r - ' .
Trial Transcript, p. 679 . ■
Mrs. Greenglass claimed to have learned ^about the atomic bomb in Nov.
1944. However, in the ty prewritten document, Mrs. Greenglass admits not know-
4
- 5 -
ing about the bomb until it was dropped on Hiroshima in August, 1945. The
document states:
^She would not have allowed her huahand to bring anyt hing
home after Hiroshima had disclosed what the project was* She in*
tended to raise a family and did not want that kind of material
around.^
t • '
SUMMARY — Thus on the witness stand Ruth Creenglass claimed
to have known all about the A-bomb in November, 1944* But in the mem<^
randum she says that she did not know about the A-bomb until Hiroshima
in August, 1945 — the time when the American people learned of the bomb*
If Julius Rosenbeig had told her, as she claimed, of the ^dangerous radia-
tion effects'* of the atomic bomb in 1944, she would not have had to wait
until 1945 to learn what the project was*
WAS GREENGLASS GUILTY OF URANIUM THEFT?
The prosecution posed an important question — why did Ethel and Julius
Rosenbeig try to get a vaccination certificate for David Greenglass to leave the
country? The defense stated the Rosen bergs believed that Greenglass may have
been involved in theft — possibly uranium theft.
The document quoting the interview with Mrs. Greenglass admits she and
her husband were questioned about uranium when an F.B.I. agent visited their
home in February, 1950. But in the trial, Greenglass refused to say why the F.B.I.
visited them. The document says:
^^She (Ruth Greenglass) pointed out Dave did not ask for the
job; that he was going overseas; that they have been watched con-
stantly and feels as if they are the object of persecution* Shortly before
. their accident the F.B.I* asked if they had a specimen of uranium in
the house, in the course of what they call a routine investigation* One
of their friends had a similar experience*** - ^
. The uranium question was brought out by the trial testimony of Julius

- 6 -
Rosenberg, who stated that he believed David Greenglass was Irotible**
because ol a possible theft of uranium*
And f recall ti ihai time in my mind tlie incideiit — ^
inatant he told me what happened to him in Febrnary adicn
the FBI had omne around to visit him and qo^tion him
aboat aooie nraninm. I thought maybe it had somethinf to
dn with that or had sometMng to do with a converaatian
Biithie had with maay jeara hack.
1251
**I said, *Dave, are yon in trouble or somethingt*
**He said, *Don*t ask me anything about it Ton got
to do thia for me. If yon can’t give me the money I need,
at least do this for me.’ ”
And the Court asked yon at the time some questions
, about the fact that you were unfriendly or yon were hostile
to each other, and in tiie face of that yon said he came to
you and he put this twofold truest to yoq, the $200D., and
if yon can’t do that for him,* the certificate showing that
he bad been vaccinated for smallpox, and also the addi-*
[fol. 1860] tional matter of asking the doctor while yon
were at it what was required to go into Mexico.
Q. Did anybody ever adc you for $2000i for a smaUpox
wrtificate or what kind of injections were required to gel
into Mexioot
A. Yes, David Oreenglass.
Q. I say, did anybody else ever ask von for anything
like that? ’ ^
A. No, air.
Q. Did yon proceed to find out wHyf
A. He was very agitated, and I asked hire in the best
way I knew how to ask him.
Q. Did yon suspect why he wanted itf
A. I suspected he was in some trouble.
Q. Did you suspect perhaps that it had to do with the
theft of gasoline from the Annyf
A. Possibly, part.
Q. Did you suspect perhaps that it had something to do
with the theft of uranium from Los Alamosf
A. Possibly.
Q. Did you suspect that it had something to do with
the type of information relating to the atomic bombf
[fol. 18611 A. No, I didn’t suspect that.
Trial Transcript, pp. 1121, 1251
But the Greenglass testimony in the trial deliberately evaded the uranium
issue. Greenglass — you will note — purporu not to remember why the F.B.I.
agent visited him
Q. vrhere did these FHl representativet sea or speak to
yon in February, 1960?
A. One man called me up on the phone and he said he
would like to see me. He came to my house; be sat down
at my table ; I offered him a cup of coffee mid we spoke —
he did not say to me that he suspected me of espionage
or anything else — he just spoke to me about whether I had
[fol. 802] known anybody at Los Alamos, and that was
the gist of the whole conversation.,^ He walked out of the
house maybe an hour later, and that is all there was to St.
Q. All right now, let’s see. Did he introduce hiiftwlf
as a member of the FBIf v
A. He did.
Q. Did he ask yon any questions, either directly or in-
dirMtly, with respect to your knowledge of any illegal
activity that occurred at Los Alsmos while you were theref '
A. I don’t recall exactly what the whole conversation
was about. It made very little effect on me, because it *
didn’t — I mean, it didn’t seeid like anything — I mean— ^
A. I Continuing:) Ho discussed with me — when he came
into the house it was very difficult to find out what he
wanted. • He didn’t come out and say that he wanted some
information. He just talked around the point. I didnft
get what he really wanted to find out.

June 1950
Tliese are my a)>proximate statements to the F.B.I.
1. I stated that I met Co^d in N. M. at 209 Hick St., myYlace.
They told me that I had told him to come hack later because 1 didn't
have it ready. I didn't remember this but I allowed it in the sutement.
When he came back again 1 told them that I gave him the envelope with
the stuff not expecting payment and then he gave me an envelope. Later
I found that it contained $500.
2. I told them that on a visit to me in Nov. 1944 my wife asked me
if 1 would give information. I made sure to tell the F.B.I. that she was
transmitting this info from my brother-in-law Julius and was not her own
idea. She was doing this because she felt 1 would be angry if she didn't
ask ibe.
I then mentioned a meeting with a man who I didn't know, arranged
1^ Julius. I established the smpibximate meeting place but no exact date.
*1^ place was a car. an Olds owned by my father-in-law, at somewhere
above 42iid St. on Ist Ave. in Manhattan. I talked to the man but I could
recall very tittle about which we spe^e. 1 thou^ it might be that he
wanted me to think about finding out about H.£. lens^ used in 'experi-
ment tests to determine data on the A bmnK
I made a general statement <m my a^, etc; you know, the usual
thing.
I mo^tioned no other meetmg with anyone
One more thing, I identifi^ Gold by a torn or cut piece of card, but
1 didn't tell them whm or how I got it. Also, I definit^ placed my wife
out of the room at the time of Gold's visit.
Also, I didn't know who sent Gold to me.
1 also made a pencil dcetch of the H.£. mold set up for an experi-
ment. But this 111 tell you, 1 can hcxiestly say the information 1 gave
Gold may be not at all what 1 said in the sutement. *

Mrs. Greenglass discussed her visit to New Mexico. She was there between March 1945 and
March 1946. They had been married in 1942. She feels that New Mexico is a very bad place
to try the case since the dttiens did not like Gl's, because of the big boom and then the big
slad, because of anti-sanitism and because the locd dtizciis all fdt oitter about the wives cw
the GFs taking jobs there. She was employed in Albuquerque by the OPA and temporarily by
the Soil Conservation Office.
As to her husband, she stated that ' he had a **tetidency to hysteria**. At other times he
would become delirious and once when he had the grippe ie ran nude through the hallway.

She had known him since she was ten years old. She said that he would say things were so
even if they were not. He talked of suidde as if he were a character in the movies but she
didn*t think he would do it. They had been under surveillance by the FBI for several weeks.
In particular, they had noticed a car of the Acme Construction Company, 14(X) First Avenue in
Manhattan. SIm ascertained there was no such Company. pThere is an Acme Constructioa

men, Mr. TuUy and Mr. Wood. One was t^l, ruddy and dark. The other she described as toothy

At the trial the Creeng^asses evaded this issue. Is it possible that this might
account for some of the mone^ which Creenglass received from Gold? Is it
possible that uranium — precious to the production of the atomic bomb —
is something which machinist David Greenglass could obtain a little more
easily perhaps than the secret of the atomic bomb?
A THREAT CARRIED OUT
A basic defense theory was that Greenglass implicated Julius Rosenberg to
lessen his own punishment and protect his wife, Ruth Greenglass.
Julius Rosenbeig, in direct testimony, stated that Greenglass had threatened
him in late May or early June, 1950 (before Greenglass' arrest) . The testimony
. follows:
Q. Would you aay this was still in BCny, or would yon any

A. It might have been the first week in June or the end
of May.

realize you have been asking me for money, yon have been

He said “I can't tell you everything abont it All 1 want
you to do for me, Julie, is I must have a couple of thousand
dollars in cash." I says “David, I don't have the money
on me, I car/t raise that kind of money."
He says, “Julie, can you borrow it from your relatives t"
I says, “No, Dave, I can't d^ that."
He says, “Can you take it from the business for me?"
I says, '‘Dave, I cannot do that."
“Well, Julie, I just got to have that money and if you
don’t get me that money you are going to be sorry."
I said, “Look here, Dave, wbat are yon trying to do,
threaten me or blackmail me?" -
Trial Transcript, pp. 1128, 1130
David Greenglass* handwritten document now confirms the defense theory.
Greenglass writes:

*
made sure to tell the F.B.L that she (Ruth) was transmitting
this info from my brother-in*law Julius and was not her idea* She was
doing this because she felt I would be angry if she didnU ask me*^
SUMMARY — From the wording of the written document, made
sure to tell the F.B.I.% it can be seen that Greenglass deliberately implicated
Julius Rosenberg, at the same time shielding his wife. Thus the document
confirms the defense theory and shows how Greenglass made gbod Jiis
threat against Julius Rosenberg*
WHOLESALE LYING
David Greenglass and Harry Gold were indicted in New Mexico on
charges of espionage. It was on the basis of this indictment that David Green-
glass vfvs arrested. His early statements deal with Gold almost exclusively. The
tri.il testimony places greater and greater emphasis upon Julius Rosenberg, who
Greenglass alleged sent Gold as a spy courier. In light of this direct implication
of Julius Rosenberg with. Greenglass and Gold it is necessary to take note of
the following serious discrepancies between the documents and the Greenglass
testimony.
Greenglass, in his own handwriting, admits regarding his statement to the
F.B.L:
^Also, I definitely placed my wife out of the room at the time of
Gold’s visit.”
f
In direct contradiction, Ruth Greenglass not only testified that she was in
the room at the time of Gold's visit, but identified Gold from a photograph.
Her testimony follows:

Now note a second contradiction. In the handwritten statement Greenglass
confesses:
^Alfio I didn^t know who sent Gold to me*^
But on the witness stand he told a diflFerent story. He said Gold had been
sent by Julius Rosenbeig:
A. Tbaro was a knock on'tho door and 1 opened it. Wa

SUMMARY — Here are two direct contradictions on crucial points In
the testimony. Greenglass admits he didn’t know who sent Gold to him,
while in the trial he testified that it was Julius Rosenberg. In the document
Greenglass places his wife outside the room on Gold’s alleged visit, whUe
in the trial his wife claimed she was in the room* .
THE MYSTERIOUS $4,000
A vital contradiction in dales revealed by the new documents shatters
Greenglass testimony abodt the $4,000 the Rosenbergs allegedly gave him to
leave the country.

" ' A major premise of the prosecutioD was' that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,

request by Mrs. Creenglass that Rogge try to get himself court-appointed in the
cases. The memorandum says:
“We first discussed the question d arranging a meeting of
various relatives at our oflSce to discuss financial problems. The rela-
tives proposed are as follows ...
“There was sub^quently present during the conference: Issy
Fcit, Sam Creenglass, Bernard Creenglass, and Louis Abel • • . Mrs.
Creenglass urged OJR to try io get a court appointment for himself
and he agreed to try.”
. Mrs. Creenglass, who in the above asked Rogge to become court-appointed,
testified in the trial that she was aware of the payment of $4,000 before she left
the hospital on June 16, 1950. ^ ^ ,
Ethel Rosenbeig, who denied ever giving the 14.006. testified as follows
with respect to the Creenglass* need for money:

She said, **Wel), I have been asking my relatives and I

If in fact Mrs. Greenglass did not pay the $4,000 through her hrotho^

OTHER 0ISCRa>ANCIES
• ^ ly‘ ^ ii.
The foregoing have been a series ol ocanparisom between the court record
and the newly discovered documents, in the Rosenberg case. The consistent
pattern of discrepancies between the Greenglass testimony and the documents
on some of the most vital points of this csise have been demonstrated. Also, it
has been seen that the Rosenberg testimony in many cases is consistent with the
documents.
A number of other discrepancies are present in the discovered documents.
For example, itr the documents Ruth' Greejiglass admits rhar ^'pec^Ie
flocking in the house to offer support. and advice . l*i-^While in her testimtmy
she insisted that no one had come to - Her house. In the document she admits
“The Jewish Daily Forward ... has offered a lawyer’^ while in the testimony
she denied s[^aking to any newspaper men during her first days at home. In thf*
document she suggests “people in the neighborhood want to raise a petition . .
(an act which implies a belief in innocence) while in her testimony she stoutly
denied telling anyone she and her husband were mnocent.

Finally, the reader must understand that Davi^^nd Ruth Gi^nglass swore
on the witness stand that from the first hour of Greenglass* arrest^ they told the
entire truth in the case. In cross-examination; defense attorney Emanuel Blcxdi
drew from David Greenglass an admission that in his early statements he made

CONaUSIONS
j ^ r. ^ . - , : ■«-''*
There is literally not one single statement in the newly-discovered documents
which is not at variance with the trial ^stknpny. Smne of the points of difference
are so obvious that even tli^ most cursory knowledge <ff the court record one is
« » ' '
aware <rf the impcxtancc ot these differences. Other points are more subtle and
require a study of the entire record as well as an understanding of the theory
advanced by both the prosQcutimi and the defense.
There is one part of the document, however, that ailmost defies description
or analysis. David Greenglass* final statement in his written document reads
as follows: “But this I can honestly say the information I gave Gold may be
not at all what I said in the statement.'*
What is the meaning of the above quote? Can one begin to speculate?
What did Greenglass actually give Harry Gold? What is the actual crime that
^ook place? Was the atCHn bomb sfolen by David Greenglass?
Can there be any more basic question in a case in which two people are
being sent to their death for the theft of the atom bomb?jCan we, after reading
the above, lightly accent the fact that Julius and. Ethel Rosenberg will be
executed for a crime which we are not even sure took place?
If in two accidentally discovered documenu so many inconsistencies, so
many open lies, and so many doubts become apparent, must we not wonder
what future documents will unfold and what other obvious lies they will reveal? ’
American justice is the responsibility of all American citizens. Execution
of the Rosenbergs despite the mountains of doubt ymuld be a tragic event that
would reflect adversely on the good name of our country, and remain upon
the consciences of all Ameritan citizens. We urge you to write and wire President
Eisenhower to grant clemency to the Rosenbeigs so that the full facts in the case
may come to lighL

FOREWORD
On February 13, 1953, VOsservatore Rosnano, ofiScial newspaper
of the Vatican, made public a message of Pope Pius XII asking tfiat
clemency be granted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The paper said:
"Certain newspapers have called the Holy Father to account con-
cerning the fate of the Rosenbergs, as if he had remained unmoved
by the various pleas addressed to him to intervene in their favor. Now
if is well to know that His Holiness, even though unable to enter into
the merits of the case, never refuses his interest, whenever it is a
matter of saving human lives, out of the high motives of charity ap-
propriate to his apostolic mission; and as he has done compassionately
in several other similar cases, so also in this one he has not failed
to intervene, as much as it was permitted him in the absence of any
official relations with the competent Government authorities.”
Since the intervention of the Vatican had not been made public by
the U.S. government, many requests for clarification came to the
Apostolic Delegation in Washington. The delegation issued the fol-
lowing statement, also on Feb. 13:
"At the request of the Holy See, the Apostolic Delegation com-
municated last December to the American Department of Justice that
the Holy Father had received numerous and urgent appeals to inter-
vene in favor of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg; appeals which His Holi-
ness, without' being able to enter into the merits of the question, felt
it opportune out of the charitable purposes of his Apostolic Office,
to bring to the knowledge of the U.S. civil authorities.”
The same evening, the Pope sent another message, this time mak-
ing certain it was handed to the President. The Apostolic Delegate
stated in a letter to Sherman Adams, assistant to the President:
“Furthermore, I am asked by the Holy See to inform the com-
petent U.S. authorities that many more requests have been received
by the Vatican asking the Holy Father to intercede for clemency for
the Rosenbergs; and that left-wing newspapers continue to state that
His Holiness has done nothing. I shall be most grateful to you if you
will kindly notify the President of this.”
The entire world was stirred by the appeals of the Vatican for
clemency.
• On April 16, 1953, VOsservatore Roniano published an elaboration
of the Popes statement in a lei'.gtliy article signed by P. F. Cavelli,
S. J., and prepared for La Civilta Cattolica. The first section dealt
with the background of the Pope’s appeal. The second section, titled
“The Significance of an Intervention,” is reprinted on the following
pages.

On Api^ 16y 1953, “L’Osservatore
Romano” published an elaboration of
the Pope*s statement. The first section
dealt ^ with the background of the
Pope*s appeal. The second section,
Sigm ^cance of an IrUerver^
tion/* is reprinted on the following
pages.
The Significance of an Intervention
But neither the maneuvres which the Communists are developing in favor
of the Rosenbergs, nor the indignation of Americans for the betrayal by which
they feel seriously threatened, could dissuade the Pope from his intervention.
It would wrong the consciousness which the Holy Father has of his divine
mandate of mercy, and at the same time misunderstand the very great gifts
of clearsightedness recognized in him by the world's esteem, to believe that
he, in his goodness, fell victim, as some would insinuate, to the insidiousness
of the Communists through the appeals directed to him.
Not all the petitions addressed to his paternal heart were from Commu-
nists. The death penalty is an extreme remedy which, no matter what the
crime it auns to punish, arouses in certain people a lively repugnance. More
numerous even are those whose goodness of soul causes diem to dwell on
the pitful aspects of a punishment rather than its necessity, however serious
the crime that deserved it. Further, the case of the young couple sentenced
to die together is so pitiful as to arouse sincere commiseration even in those
not animated by any ignoble partisan interest in wanting to save their lives.
In particular, that a woman should wait in a “death chamber” for th e mo-
ment of execution is in itself an event as tragic as it is rare and is such as to
arouse instinctively a sense of horror. Wfeh, then, two children, Michael
9 years old and Robert 5, are involved in this tearful fate, many hearts can
be melted, before ^wo little innocents on whose soul and destiny the death
of their parents would forever leave sinister scars. No one can deny how this
circumstance at least gives reason to the heartfelt insistence of the mothers
3
who wanted to bring their agonized pleas to the Vicar of Him who dearly
loved children.
The Communists, who bear the full responsibility for this pitiful drama,
wanted to use it as* an expedient of their propaganda against the United
States, claiming reasons of justice and humanity and rejecting the results
of the trial. But this is no reason why the sad fate of the couple and their chib
dre should remain without an echo in the hearts of many and all the less so
in the heart of the Holy Father.
He, weighing the miserable and fraudulent calculation of many who,
being enemies of God, prove themselves the worst enemies of man, acted
out of those feelings which while bearing witness to the merciful mission
of the Pontificate, honor at the same time the human soul in the most sublime
fashion.
Elevated to an oflSce which puts him above diflFerences which can divide
peoples and individuals. Supreme Head of a religion erected on the law of
love, representative on earth of Jesus who died forgiving his crucifiers, the
Pope has received from God a law which is not that of common rulers. Father
of all men, his appeal for the Rosenbergs, rendered more solemn by the suf-
fering of the illness which struck him at that time, admirably fits in with the
entire work of his Pontificate, which coincides with one of the unhappiest
periods in all history.
Teacher and guide of the people, with the torch of Christ’s doctrine, the
Pope at the same time is perennially called from his sublime oflSce to bow, as
did Jesus, before the sufferings which afflict the human race in every age.
But divine Providence has shown that in this Pontiff particularly it wants
a pious Samaritan for the sorrows which in such large measure are and have
been the tragic heritage of these years. ^ ^
It was the Pontiff who tried every way to preserve the world from war;
and who one day when he went forth in person among the ruins and blood
shed by bombardments even around the Vatican, had already accomplished
a tremendous labor to soften the frightful consequences of four years of war;
writing indelible pages capable of redeeming partially at least the horrendous
cruelty of the conflict. Pages that profoundly registered in the hearts of mil-
lions raised up by his sublime call to a more serene vision in an hour of dark-
ness and sorrows and comforted in innumerable cases through the intervention
of his charity.
It is not out of place to recall the work done by the Information Offices
of the Vatican in response to the thousands of agonized requests that came
to the Holy Father personally from all parts of the world; the visits to the
P.O.W. camps o( his representatives; the material and spiritual aids given to
4
• #
throngs of sufferers. ... At war s end, but his mournful balance not closed,
there went the Pope, pursuing his unexhausted mission of mercy among the
sick, the needy, the prisoners, the institutionalized, particularly the infants,
who in more than one country suffered most and are still suffering from the
dreadful effects of the war.
The whole Catholic Church with its central and peripheral organization,
gave of itself in an immense and divine charitable undertaking, as is com-
manded by the spirit of its divine Founder, and which today stands forth
luminously in the words and labor of the Vicar who represents Him on earth.
It is not by chance that the Holy Father s gesture in favor of the Rosen-
bergs falls in with the aid he sent in those same days to the unfortunate
flood victims in England, Belgium and HoUand.
This Pontiff, then, certainly had the right, by nature of his mission and
his accomplishments, to exercise again an act of charity for which his paternal
heart had been appealed to with so much insistence. Furthermore, the Holy
Father was not performing an unusual gesture, even with respect to the par-
ticular character of the intervention in favor of the Rosenbergs. As a matter
of fact, as L Osservatore Romano recalled in the above ihentioned commu-
nique, he “never refuses his interest when it is requested to save human lives,
out of the higher motives of his apostolic ministry ... as he has compas-
sionately done in several other similar cases. . ,
UNINTERRUPTED. TRADITION OF CHARITY
The whole history of the Popes frequently speaks of their actions upon
state authorities in behalf of men of every condition and faith. Not a small
part of the immense and constant work of charity accomplished by the Pon-
tiffs could come precisely under the heading of “humanitarian intervention.”
Says an eminent scholar of international law:^ -The expression is derived
from the modem diplomatic practice which recognized, especially in the last
century, various cases of this species of intervention, celebrated as one of the
major conquests of our time, and as one of the ways the modem sense of
humanity manifests itself.” Now, continues this illustrious jurist, “in no epoch
has this humanitarian intervention used by states had so energetic forms or
was used so frequently” as by the Popes “in remote medieval times.”
And from then on it has never been Jess, while in these last years it has
shone with singular splendor in the Pontificate of Pius XII.
Newspapers and periodicals have tried to give some indications of this.
Still the few lines remained inadequate to the argument which demands
another development. Even our brief and inorganic illustrations lift only a
comer* of the veil discreetly extended over how much the Supreme Pontiff
accomplished during the conflict on this question.
5
Several examples chosen among many constitute a glorious and imposing
documentation, to which are added many more when the tragic fate of Italy
and the greater facility for reaching the Holy Father were such that He re-
ceived numerous appeals in behalf of unhappy victims of capital punish-
ment at the hands of German and Fascist authorities. Previously the Holy
Father's interventions had become so frequent and so pressing as to induce
the German Ambassador to the Holy See to express a hope that intercessions
on behalf of those condemned by the military authorities be reduced.
The Holy See answered him that “we cannot avoid (when it seems op-
portune to do so) invoking clemency from the competent authorities even
if it be annoying or superfluous to do so."
These interventions do not counter, but instead fall in with the just and
necessary equilibrium of the functions of higher personages in whose hands
rest the fates of peoples and individuals.
There are judicial and executive powers in the high administrations of
nations; but there are also moral powers which, if they cannot rigorously
appeal to the Right, can claim a sacred majesty from the splendor of Science,
the value of notable personal merits, the nobility of proven sentiments, the
august dignity of a religious mission. To some, God has entrusted the scales
of justice defended by the sword; to the others, He has commissioned the
part of moderator and illuminator, which would be too short-sighted not to
take into consideration.
Coming to the interv’ention of the Holy Father in behalf of the Rosenbergs,
it was not intended to be and was not an undue interference in the domestic
affairs of another power, nor an invasion of its authority. Better than every-
one, the Pontiff knew the limits within which he had to keep by virtue of his
ecclesiastic and interna donal prerogatives. If one consider it well, the Pope
did not make a formal appeal in favor of the Rosenbergs; he pointed out to
the American government that many demands were made upon him to inter-
cede for their salvation. Presenting his discreet but nonetheless eloquent
appeal, which carried the weight of his august personality, the Holy Father
declared that he was not entering into the merits of the case. With this, his
intervention had nothing in common with the campaign artificially unleashed
by the Communists, who without qualification labeled the Rosenbergs'
sentence illegal and unjust, substituting themselves for the courts which had
examined the Rosenbergs' faults. It was not for the Pope to pronounce him-
self on the merits of the accusations, or on the exigencies of a procedure
which seemed to have been scrupulously observed, or on the testimony, or
the ratio of the crime to the punishment. All the more so in a trial which had
the concurrence of the great majority of citizens not only in America but
out of it; and was such that, outside of a few sporadic criticisms, it was not
6
4
easy to find a single one of those evident characteristics which distinguish
trials in Communist countries, particularly against the Catholic clergy and
Bishoprics. The Holy Father did not pose a single doubt or raise a single
suspicion on tiiis score.
Apart from the conclusions of the judges and the deliberation of the
powers called in final petition for a verdict on the commutation, he made a
plea for mercy. It was up to the Head of the State, to whom the case was
brought, to consider the solemn appeal in the comprehensive examination of
all those motives which not for the only time in history, have induced a ruler
to overcome with clemency the rigid confines of justice. If, in spite of this,
the President did not see fit to grant clemency, the Supreme PontiflF did not
intend to question who was to decide judgment, taking into accoimt all the
aspects of this sad case.
Neither in taking his step did the Holy Father deny, as was inconsider-
ately reproached him, the right of peoples to defend themselves against the
insidiousness of internal enemies who today in no small measure try to open
the road to outside enemies. It is well known, furthermore, that the Catholic
Church does not condemn in principle the death sentence, the extreme
punishment which certain crimes can demand when they seriously threaten
the common welfare.
INCOMPREHENSIBLE SECTARIANISMS
These obvious considerations w^ere not understood by everyone.
One must read with horror certain sharp words of those who wished that
night should give no peace to him who contributed to changing the course
of justice already pronounced on the two prisoners. The Christian, placed be-
fore the raw decisions of courts, even when he approves of them and demands
them, knows how to find in his heart and in his religion a sentiment of com-
passion for him who, having sinned, must now suffer the punishment, no
matter how just for his misdeeds. He himself, with, all the esteem he may be
held by his fellowmen, knows that he has more need of mercy than justice
before God. Therefore, not with the diabolical yearning for vendetta, but
with regret that others, having been found wanting, must expiate, does Man,
and more so, a Christian, accept and when necessary, demand that justice
fulfill its hard function.
It is again displeasing that in the intervention of the Holy Father, some
should pretend to see an intrusion of a “foreign citizen.” The Holy Father is
a sovereign and in this case appeared the more majestic in that, divested of
any national particularity, he became a herald of a principle which transcends
particularistic regions and touches the highest summit of the Christian and
human spirit.
\
7
/
Thus he was not a foreign citizen when he, without regard to nationality
or politics, nor questioning the demands of military codes, shunned the fear
that his steps might be misinterpreted and permitted himself to ask many
times for an act of clemency in order to save a human life.
The reproach to the Holy Father that he was being indulgent to Commu-
nists in intervening in behalf of the Rosenbergs and the reminder that Com-
munism is inhumanly persecuting Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, Monks, and
Nuns, was out of place. This was an unjust and irreverent act, for in no other
heart does the painful fate of the persecuted of Christ echo as much as in
the heart of the Holy Father; nevertheless, feeling the suflFerings of so many
oppressed ones, it is not forbidden one who is the repository of universal
fatherhood to make a merciful gesture for whoever suflFers under the burden
of sorrow, be they innocent or guilty.
There were those who wished to stir up dissension between Catholics and
Protestants on a sectarian basis for an act which is evident from its nature
to be above all divisions, when the discreet limits to which the appeal con-
fined itself should have found agreement from those who worship the same
God.
Finally, it is most inopportune to claim the separation of Church and
State existing in the Republic, in order to reject the Holy Fathers plea. Not
only was this plea addressed precisely to the advantage of two non-Catholics,
but it, though not taking account of the theological reasons that flowed from
the religion which the Roman Pontiff heads, had its moral justification for
Ihc appeals made to the liighest principles of huinanitarianism; an historical
coherence conforming to thousands of years traditions among the civ'iliza-
tions of peoples, a precise- and solid juridical foundation in the diplomatic
customs of many centuries, concretized in institutions conferring on all the
right to humanitarian intervention.
Thus the appeal of the Holy Father, far from causing even a minimum
harm to the majesty of civil power and the cause of justice, highly honored
them, both by its call to the noble sovereignity of mercy, and by the dignity
of its noble intercessor.
There is no doubt that when history returns to this episode, it will seal
with a word of highest praise^

Foreword
rpHE struggle to save the lives of Ethel and Julius Rosen-
berg reflects the universal humanitarian response at
the plight of two individuals. It is an expression of genu-
ine self-concern on the part of millions who know that
the terror now stalking these two innocent people is a
threat to the lives and liberties of all. A tremendous num-
ber of people, including leading scientists, lawyers, and
jurists, hav^ raised serious questions about the facts of the
case and th^ judicial procedure involved. If, in the face
of these questions,, the Rosenbergs are.Vxecuted by a
vengeful state, no individual will be safe from unjust per-
secution.
* * *
¥N the, course’ of this struggle, the poems and songs of
Edith Segal have been a beacon of inspiration and
hope in the tradition of Emile Zola. To writers and ar-
tists she has given a brilliant example of the way to voice
the deep-felt prayers of millions. To those who have
marched on picket-lines and climbed endless-* flights of
stairs in search of justice and truth, these lines of word
and song have captured the burning emotions of the
heart and mind; And to the two people now in Sing Sing’s '
Death House, these poems echo the strength and com-
passion of an enraged world which will virite the final
song of justice triumphant to the case of Ethel and Julius
Rosenberg.

Dear Ethel and Julius Rosenberg:
It is 5 am., April 6th, 1953. You are locked in
your cells, asleep — or trying to sleep.
We have never met. Yet today, as for many months,
you have been with me as with countless new friends,
far into the inspired night.
Now in the seemingly quiet hour that welcomes
another dawn, this little book stands ready for the
printer. He will multiply it many times.
For its message we will find new ears, new hearts,
new hands to hurry for you and Morton Sobell the
dawn which will open the gates for your home-
coming, and to peace for all of us.
Edith Segal

Give U$ Your Hand!
Tonight i
as you quietly draw the curtain
on the day’s activity
and reclining
contemplate the fertile promise of unborn time
imagine
you
are Ethel or Julius Rosenberg
in the Death House at Sing Sing
The dimness is a fog
your eyes defy
Sleep is a luxury long lost
After dignity — time
being most treasured
measured by the hurrying steps of death-
even napping is a thief
Suddenly there’s light in your cell
in the prison block
in the house on Monroe Street
where you lived with your children
in the narrow streets
of New York’s lower east side, your city
in every city in the land
in the assembly halls in all the schools,
your school, P.S. 88
where you stood with your hand upon your
heart
as you faced the flag and said the words
that were to give your life direction:
With Liberty ajid Justice For All
Now
you stand at the bars of your cell
with your hands cupped wide at your mouth
and shout to the world at the top of your lungs:
IF YOU SLEEP WHILE THEY KILL US
WILL THEY KILL YOU WHILE YpU SLEEP?
If you ever breathed too deeply
the air of brotherhood
clasped black and white hands
in your neighborhood
* or gave a dime
for democratic Spain A*
or signed your name
to nominate your choice
,a voice for peace
WILL THEY KILL YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP
IF YOU SLEEP WHILE THEY KILL US?
We yearn to live see our children grow
but if we burn then part of them
and part of you will turn to dust
and death will haunt our home, our land
GIVE US YOUR HAND!
Let us stand in the sunlight
when the wind is still
and the din of war subsides into the sea
and scales are righted
and our worth declared. to be
among the living
to mould the fertile promise of unborn time—
Time!
Tomorrow they die
Unless we make their cry a warning
DEA TH IS IN O UR LAND!
GIVE US YOUR HAND!

And my heart Td enclose,

Will our children laugh,
Will we hear them laugh, mv loved one?
We know it will be
For the people and we
Will fight till we’re free, my loved one.

The Power To Hope
“Mr. Bloch, I do not think any purpose would be
served by further delay of the date of execution ex-
cept to increase the mental anguish of the defend-
ants, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, and possibly to
raise false hopes for them."
Judge Kaufman, February 13, 1953
%
How '.shallow your heart?
How deep your blinding hatel \
You ask. Judge Kaufman,
"What purpose would it serve
now to delay the date?
What sets man from animal apart
If not the power to hope, to feel.
The thing we call the human heart?
You sniff for their hurried death
You snarl at their mounting hope
The world’s good people
build it high,
'T he Pope renews
his strangely buried cry.
We seek to spare them even one fciint sigh
One needless tear
Their eyes have been wept dry.
Two lives, two hearts we mean to spare.
Armed with our dream
We hurry forth to dare!

Chant For Life
I'he President’s in the White House
Behind the iron gate.
The Clemency Vigil circles round
Early and late.
The Judge is in the Court House
In haste to set the date.
The Clemency Vigil circles round
Early and late.
He’s ready at the switches.
The killer in robes of State,
The Clemency Vigil circles round
Early and late.
The Rosenbergs in the Death House,
Oh what will be their fate?
The Clemency Vigil circles round
Early and late.
The People in their homelands
Watch the White House gate.
The Clemency Vigil circles round
Early and late.
Your voice
subdued
in penetrating challenge
chills the blood
and wakens the sleeping heart:
I have thirty years .
to fight for my husband
but we have only days
' to save the Rosenbergs
\
You tower
above the crude,
the legal lies
Your dear brown eyes
envision the longed-for day
the reunion of lovers
of families
of children at play
with childhood ease
Sing Sing to Alcatraz
the span is long
but the Rosenbergs .
and Mort Sobell
shall hear our song
which you have given depth
and soaring overtone
and he
and they
shall sing with us
J
Nightmare
I awoke in fright
. out of the fevered night
It luas done
and they were dead!
Staring blindly in the dark
confusion pounding at my heart
/ could have done much mote
than I had done
Trembling, I raised the blind
only to find
Dark buildings
quiet as death
Good people of the world now mourn
shame to our land and scorn!
Suddenly the dawn
Brought sanity and speeding time!
For Lovers
When two who love
are barred from their embrace
When the face, the eyes
wear the disguise of patience
and the yearning is slated
to find release in burning
Can we who love
be free?

I'm dreaming of waltzing, darling.
Just as we used to do.
Gliding and gently swaying,
Whisp’ring sweet words to you.
We step from our cells, they vanish.
With the magic of truth, we’re away
, Waltzing down the dim halls
' Past the high prison walls
And into the light of day.
Remember our wedding party,
We danced for the family.
Joyously all applauded.
They said we’d live happily.
Again in your arms, you hold me,
The shadow of death torn away.
Waltzing down the dim halls
Past the high prison walls
And into the light of day.
Our children are waiting for us.
Like flow’rs in the sun they stand.
Their faith in us now rewarded,
Clapping their little hands.
The people who fought for justice.
Who saved us from death, we embrace.
Arm in arm we go forth.
Holding our sons aloft.
Building peace in the new life we face.

Take Your Place
‘'Little children sweet and gay,
Carousel is running
Hurry, hurry, take your place
Or you'll surely be too late."
Children's Singing Game
Endlessly circling
the near-White House pavement
The heart-beat of history
heard in our tread
Firmly grasping
our Rosenberg placards
We challenge the windstorm,
the Washington night
Across our proud chests
hang banners of cardboard
marked with the hope
of two innocent lives
resounding through factories
government chambers,
kitchens, farms, schools,
houses of prayer
through Africa, Asia,
Europe, Australia,
South America,
back to Times Square
Stronger the heart-beat
Our circle expanding
Standing in dignity
Mankind responds!

THREE POEMS FOR
ROBERT and MICHAEL ROSENBERG
Some Day
Some day
to Dave Greenglass'
we’ll say:
"Uncle, V
why did you lie that way?”
A Man Called Manny
There is a man called Manny,
We love to hold his hand
And tell him everything we feel
Because he’ll understand.
Manny Bloch’s a very great lawyer
But guess what he is even more!
The most wonderful friend we have in the world.
Though we didn’t know him before,
•'i ,
Manny takes us to Sing Sing.
To see our pop and mom
And that’s the best of all the things — .
Except if they’d come home.
Kids Grow Fa*^
When your mother and dad
are taken away
When you cry in the night
for yesterday
^ kids grow fast
When they call your parents
A-Bomb Spies
When you know they re telling
crazy lies
When they store at you
with mean old eyes
kids grow fast
When the pape«
rosenbergs to die
When you visit the Jail
and try not to cry
kids grow fast
When millions of people
suddenly care
And write to the President
from everywhere
To save Mom and Dad
from the electric chair
kids grow fast
